こちらも502で、ボタン裏刻印16のものであるが、よく言われるように16刻印のものは、他と比べるとイレギュラーな点があり、この1本も例外できない。もう1本の502とは、紙パッチの字体や各表記の位置の違いがあるものの、ボタン裏刻印16番のものであるがゆえの仕様の違いがあることから、製造時期の先後は明確ではない。購入した時点では、糊落としのため1,2度洗われたものであった。This is also 502 with 16 engravings on the back of the top button. 16 engravings are more irregular than others, and this one is no exception. The other 502 has differences in the typeface of the paper patch and the position of each notation, but it is not clear when it was manufactured, as it has different specifications due to the fact that it is an engraved number 16 on the back of the button. At the time of purchase, it had been washed once or twice to remove the glue.
The zip-fly 502 should not be any different from the 501 in terms of silhouette, but it seems to be more tapered than the 501.
